Sunset Reef Campground is a reclaimed well pad with 11 developed campsites; five RV spaces and six tent sites. Each site has a shaded picnic table, fire pit and grill for your camping convenience with a vault toilet on site. Visitors can dry camp at this campground for a maximum of five nights for free. If on the hunt for a great place to camp while exploring the two national parks in the area, this is the place to stay! Carlsbad Caverns is a 25-minute drive (14 miles) to the north and Guadalupe Mountains National Park is a 35-minute drive (30 miles) to the southwest. __
The extra distance to the Tejas Wilderness Campground is worth the time for those who wish to stay in a more densely forested surrounding. The tall trees provide deep shade in the morning and late afternoon and protection from high winds aloft. Centrally located, the Tejas campground is 5.5 miles from Pine Springs trailhead or 6.2 miles from Dog Canyon.

What an incredible spot. 6 yurts. 4 cabins with power and all amenities. A hot shower. Less than 30 minutes to the park. Soooo peaceful and beautiful. 15 minutes from Dell City for supplies. I'm so glad the park was full and I stumbled onto this place. This place could be a destination on its own.
GuideGreat small family owned and lived at campground. A nice couple that has sites at their place literally setting right in front of the Guadalupe Mountains. 20 some minutes away from Guadalupe national Park. Minutes from Dell City. You can see the Sand Dunes from this place. This is a quiet, secluded place. NOT A BIG CAMPGROUND. The owners are friendly and helpful. This is a great option to the overcrowded Pine Springs Campground.

Stumbled upon this Texas State Historic Park looking for something around El Paso. Called and captured the last site available for our desired timeframe. What an awesome camping area with a bonus of being able to explore the pictographs on both a self-guided and guided tour. Definitely worth a visit. Just come prepared to stay on site for a few days. They close the gate at 6pm come hell or high water!
GuideWe stayed here two nights and absolutely loved it. Very remote and quiet but close to Guadalupe Mountaind and Carlsbad Caverns National Parks. The site are very well maintained with solar lights to guide you at night. Peaceful, quiet and would stay here again.
Scout
I guess not really sure what type of giveaways for Instagram campaign for followers to run but I think SVQ online will serve as a better alternative to that one comes with more power promotional reach.
ScoutOnce you have your permit, you can embark on your backpacking adventure to Pine Top. The 4.2-mile hike from Pine Springs to the campground will take you through diverse landscapes, including forests, meadows, uno online, and possibly even some stunning vistas. As you make your way to Pine Top, keep an eye out for wildlife and take in the natural beauty surrounding you.
GuideYou must carry your own water in. These are primitive desert backpacking sites. Since it is the first camp at the end of a fairly tough hike,it is often full. You must get a permit from the rangers to camp here. Fairly rocky, if you are lucky you will see elk. Beautiful night sky’s. The winds can be very brutal. (50 mph plus)
Traveler
This is a great place to be my 36 foot trailer had plenty of room great scenery and for a bonus there’s a store/cafe with awesome home cooked meals!
Traveler
Ten or so shade canopies with picnic tables. Pot toilets and no noise from the road. But its always windy. Good spot for motocamping
ScoutGreat small (free) campground very close to Carlsbad Caverns National Park. Surprised at how well-kept it was and the restroom is very clean. There are about 5/6 RV/campervan spots and equal tent spots, each with a picnic table under a canopy, a BBQ and fire ring. There were 3 cars parked at the wooden fence as well. Max 5 nights stay. Great spot for a visit to Carlsbad Caverns and if you don’t need water/hookups. Great views, can barely hear the Highway.
ScoutVery cute place, has spots for tents and just rv or car camping. Everyone is respectful of others out there and there is one vault toliet that is pretty clean. Would visit again if i were passing through!
TravelerYou cannot access this campground from National Parks rd. 62 , like the GPS thinks you can!
Didn't actually camp their because we couldn't make it to the camp grounds
TravelerArrived and had the whole camground to ourselves. Google will not give you the correct directions and this app is actually showing the incorrect spot. Off the 180 you will need to turn onto Washington Ranch road, then turn right on the first dirt road.
GuideThis campsite had the cleanest outhouse I’ve ever seen at a campground! Spaces are close together and don’t offer much privacy at all so if that’s the goal for you I wouldn’t suggest this site. There’s 10 sites, 5 for tents 5 for cars, camper vans and rvs. It’s very easy to find once you turn off the highway it’s the first right, I missed it the first time and ended up driving all the way down the road but there’s no need for that, you can still see and hear the highway so if you can’t you went too far. I came on a Wednesday night around 6pm and there were already two people here and by the time the sunset 3 more campers showed up. Overall nice stay I decided on sleeping in my hammock so I could have the best view of the sunrise. The perfect place to stop after the 10 hour drive from Houston!! Oh there’s also cell service, I have at&t and I had 3 bars. Happy camping!:)
TravelerLoved this spot. Had a few neighbors and felt very safe. Picnic tables, awnings and bathrooms! Will definitely stay here again someday.
GuideNo frills site with a few amenities. There are 11 shade spots with benches, bbq grill, fire pit, and trash bin each. There’s one toilet available. No water.
ScoutTraveling to California from Georgia and this is my favorite spot. Site has a picnic area with a covered table, fire pit, and grill for each spot. It’s also has an incredibly clean bathroom! I was worried that it’d be close to the road but it’s very secluded and safe. Definitely would come here again!
GuideDown a gravel road, so a bit hard to find. Google maps doesn't really get you there. A very nice campground with little road noise considering how close it is to the highway.
ScoutWe got here as the bins were being emptied. Very well maintained. Each spot has a shaded picnic table and grill. Limited spots though, 6 RV sites and 6 tent sites. We got the last spot when we got here, so it can be full even on a weekday. RV sites are all pull-through.
RangerSmall with 5 RV sites and a few tent sites. Each RV site has a picnic table and a cover. Filled up quick. Quiet except a little road noise.
ScoutOpen gravel lot easy to get to. Remote depending on the number of people. 10 or so spots with picnic tables, otherwise park where you can
TravelerThe place is amazing. Awesome views.
The sign says only camping in designated spots, so no side camps.
There's 6 RV spots and 6 tent sites.
The road getting in is really rough. I did fine with my 32ft fifth wheel. I came in at 8mph. It's rough with embedded rocks.
LegendThis place rocks. It’s perfectly placed between the Caverns NP and Guadalupe mountains NP. It’s free and has a clean vault toilet and trash cans. Right off the highway and tucked down a gravel road and very quiet at night. Sites are close together but everyone was respectful of quiet hours (7am-10pm) during my 2 night stay. There are five sites for you to pull through for larger rigs and then six camping sites. On the sign it states that you can’t stay unless you’re in an official site but others camped out along the rail which wasn’t an issue with me. Each site has a picnic cable that’s covered, grill and nice fire ring. Had good AT&T service and could work remotely. Definitely would recommend this place! I stayed Monday and Tuesday night and sites were filled both nights but people tend to filter out in the late morning so that’s the chance to snag a spot!
GuideThis location has some pull through spots for larger rigs and also smaller spaces for tents or cars. We had our skoolie in a pull through spot and could park our car next to it. It had a table, trash, and fire area. Very close to Carlsbad Caverns NP too.
TravelerGreat free camping spot. As the name suggests, beautiful sunsets. Each spot has a BBQ grill, fire pit, picnic table, and covering. One pit toilet is available. 10 or 11 spots in total. Sign says to only camp in designated spots, but people parked on the sides too.
Close to National Parks Highway. Pass miles marker 11 going south on National Park highway and turn into Washington Ranch Road ( there’s a sign for picnic areas and an historical marker). Take the chest right and drive down dirt road to campsite. It is labeled at the end of the dirt road.
Spots full up quickly be for sunset.
Very close go Carlsbad Caverns NP and about 35 miles from Guadalupe Mountains NP.
ScoutStopped here in march planned on 1 night stayed for 5 great location
RangerWow, what an unreal campground. The wife and I are on a road trip and this is our first time in NM, and thought this might be a good place to stop for a few days.
When you’re driving on NP Highway and see the big red sign on the side of the highway, then there. Then, take the next dirt road on the right and it’ll lead you to it.
It has about 10 spots with covered picnic tables and fire pits. It also has a vault toilet that is pretty nice all things considered (doesn’t smell).
The campground is behind a few hills so it’s out of sight from the highway and really quiet. It’s in view of both Guadalupe NP and Carlsbad NP. About 20-30 mins either way.
It got pretty windy at night for us, but it was unreal other than that.
HIGHLY recommend.
